About this work
A botanical study of Gloriosa superba, the climbing lily, shows a flowering stem with a red and yellow bloom, curling green tendrils, lance-shaped leaves, and a green seed pod with a bud. The watercolor is set within a thin painted border on a pale ground. Attributed to Nicolas Robert, ca. 1660, the drawing is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
